I have lived in Middleton Cheney for 6 years and I have two children at MCPA (soon to be three).  I became a parent governor because I have a strong interest in not just my own children's education but education as a whole and I enjoy being active in the community.  I bring my skills as a Business Manager and Mum to the role.

Claire Pitt - Chair of Governors

I have lived in the village since 2014 and have two children that attend the school. My education background is a Biology degree, however most of my career has been within automotive working in Operations, Project Management, Network Development and Training. Throughout my career and particularly my roles in training, I have a passion for people development and want to support the school with providing the best education experience for the children, staff and parents at the school.

I have lived in Middleton since 2015 and am a mother of two adopted children that attend MCPA. I have first hand experience of the wonderful support this school gives to children with SEN and from a LAC background. I have over 20 years' experience of working in training and development, and program management in a Clinical Research Environment. I am excited to be given this opportunity to support my school community further and be a part of this wonderful organisation.
